British Pobjoy Mint

In 1965, the Pobjoy family started a mint that has since stood the test of time. Bringing a history of working with Precious Metals that stretches back over 300 years into the modern age, Taya Pobjoy is the second generation of the family to manage the mint as director.

Known worldwide for coins and medals of outstanding quality, governments, banks, corporations and other organizations from around the world seek out the Pobjoy Mint. The mint’s location in Surrey, close to London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports and the Eurotunnel, make it simple to transport products both nationally and internationally.

Balancing Tradition and Contemporary Technology

While the Pobjoy Mint has preserved its traditional numismatic customs, it also seeks to stay on the cutting edge of the Precious Metals industry. Pobjoy created the world’s first man-made Precious Metal, called Virenium, which has been used frequently in high-denomination coinage since 1978. Additionally, Pobjoy also invented the first hologram coin, the first braille coin, the first diamond-shaped coin and the first spinning coin.

Pobjoy Mint Technology

Pobjoy conducts every stage of coin production under rigorous security. Every step of the process is performed within the walls of the mint. First, Pobjoy workers design the coin. Then, they produce a plaster from large models. A positive impression is taken from the master and is sent to the die-cutting department. The die-cutting process takes up to 28 hours as it reduces the design to the correct dimension when transferred to a hub. Once in the hubbing stage, the image becomes a working die. Dies are hardened chemically and physically before they are ready for coining. Next, Gold or Silver blanks are cut into required shapes, washed and blanched before becoming coins stamped with the design.

Their long history of working with both commemorative coins and circulating coins means Pobjoy has the expertise to ensure that any type of coin is crafted with the utmost attention to detail and quality. Coins of every type undergo the highest levels of quality assurance so that Pobjoy Mint can deliver a premium product.
